Sysomos

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 20, 2016) - Sysomos , the social intelligence company powered by data science, today announced two new offerings: Sysomos Optimize, designed to help marketers boost paid Social Ad campaigns and Sysomos Influence, a new tool to help quickly find relevant brand influencers and communities.

"Marketers want the ability to make the most informed decisions about their paid media campaigns," said Amber Naslund, chief evangelist and senior vice president of marketing at Sysomos. "Optimize is our first leap toward supporting paid promotions and allowing marketers to precision-target Twitter audiences at scale, leveraging industry-leading data analytics to drive a massive lift in engagement over other targeting methods."

Optimize delivers new ways to increase the reach and relevancy of social campaigns by harnessing analytics to create "look-alike" lists, similar to the original audience targeted and as likely to convert. Marketers can automatically improve the reach of an audience by up to five million more users with look-alike modeling. In addition, self-optimization enables marketers to interpret, measure and improve the success of their campaigns in real-time.

Today, the company also announced the availability of Influence, a new discovery tool that harnesses the power of word-of-mouth and peer influence to help marketers keep a pulse on the individuals and communities most connected to any topic, brand or trend. Unlike other tools, Sysomos Influence maps how communities are connected, identifies the strength and authority of the influencers in a community, offers detailed analysis to help brands effectively engage with influencers in a relevant, meaningful way and finds the up and coming influencers.

"Customers today demand to be heard and expect authentic, personalized and sometimes immediate engagements from brands," said Lindsay Sparks, chief executive officer of Sysomos. "With these new product offerings, we're delivering brands and agencies a world-class customer connection engine that improves over time and provides analysis and insights that can be actioned today."

• Search and create Twitter lists using targeted keywords via Boolean queries
